Xinhua News Agency, Yuyu, Japan, March 19 (reporter Li Jia) the Yuyu Super Arena finally ushered in Yuzuru Hanyu, the biggest star of this figure skating world championship. Not only was the audience full, but the seats of the Japanese men’s team were almost occupied by reporters one and a half hours before the press conference.
On that day, the champion of the two Winter Olympics answered the question of Xinhua News Agency reporter about the Beijing Winter Olympics. He said, “the Olympic Games are very important to me, but the Beijing Winter Olympics is still far away, I am now focusing on this competition (World Championship). I will try my best to participate in the world championships.”
When talking about this world championship, he said: “There are similarities between this world championship and the Olympic Games. It is a world-class competition, but because it is held in Japan, it will be somewhat nervous. My biggest goal is to show my strength perfectly, concentrate and enjoy everything on the ice.”
Yuye Changmo and Tanaka criminal of the Japanese team also attended the press conference, but Yu Sheng was undoubtedly the focus of attention. This was the first time he appeared on the court after the injury to the foot of the Russian Cup on last November. He missed the ice training on the 18th and arrived at Tokyo Haneda Airport in the evening.
“My foot injury can’t be said to be completely good, but I have done my best. I always hope to participate in the competition in the best state. Although the situation is different every time, it is impossible to be in perfect state every time, but now I am very confident and feel that I am in full score.” Yu Sheng’s words dispelled the media’s previous speculation that he might not be able to participate due to injury.
Yu sheng was also injured soon when he participated in the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. At that time, there was only one month to recover, and this time he “disappeared” for four months.
“I also have experience. At that time, there was only about one month (time) of training before the Olympic Games, and my performance was not bad. This time, the rest time and the return training time were longer, for 17 weeks, I think the last experience is very helpful to my comeback and competition.” Yu Sheng said that during the Ice training on that day, he successfully completed several four-week jumps, and the audience applauded excitedly.
Yu Sheng said, “Today I am very satisfied with my training. I have always wanted to practice in the main ice rink and feel the atmosphere here. Today, I have completed all the training tasks.”
Yu sheng is no stranger to the Jade Super Arena. It was here that he won his first world championship in flower skating in 2014. He won the World Championship again in 2017, however, in 2018, he missed the World Championship due to injury, and American famous General Chen Wei was successfully crowned. In this world championship, the defending champion Chen Wei, the champion of the four continents of Xinke, Yuye Changmo, and the famous Chinese star Jin Boyang will all be strong competitors of the gold medal.
